Once upon a time there was a dodo. On the extinction and survival of species, translated from German by K. Gaidai

The dodo was a very unusual bird. It could not fly, ran not very fast, and lived on a deserted, paradise-like island in the ocean. When the Europeans discovered this island, along with the dodo, it became clear that its end had come. Isabelle Pin told its tragic story of life and extinction, but the dodo lives on today in stories, tales, paintings, and museums. This book is also about travelers, pioneers of new lands, great scientists, and explorers. And about how to live, survive, and allow others to live. It is an exciting journey for readers of all ages.
For middle school age.
